In traveling...Mother was wonderful at needle-work.<br /><br />In traveling the wide world, back in the depths of another century, it often seemed useful to know how to supply a stitch in time.<br /><br />On the youth-hostelry circuit in North Africa in 1963 I learned that the two nations that manufacture the best travelers were Australia and Holland.<br /><br />The Dutch and the Aussies were always so self-sufficient. They carried swell little compact sewing-kits, and knew how to use them.<br /><br />Their mothers should have been proud.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757642773669370452.post-8378219713860879492011-11-26T08:54:22.119-05:002011-11-26T08:54:22.119-05:00Hi Nin.

It's funny -- I don't think our daughter Jane (now 14) will ever be able to connect with it; her experience is so different, although she learned to sew quite well on her own. And I can substitute for the image you've drawn the faces of certain touring musicians I've known, all of whom were quite handy with needle, thread and clothes iron.
